And who does he expect to treat the casualties of Monday or does he not care?

Maybe he is then at the frontline and help there with first aid?!

he is a permanent secretary to the minister of health, not a paramedic.

And he is encouraging doctors and nurses to Abandon their hypocratic oath (if they adhere to such a thing in Thailand) at a time when severe civil unrest is threatened. A totally irresponsible position to take

CHAPTER IV

Duties of the Thai People

Section 74. A Government official, official or employee

of a Government agency, a State agency, a State enterprise or

other State official shall have a duty to act in compliance with the

law in order to protect public interests, and provide convenience

and services to the public in accordance with the good governance

principle.

In performing the duty and other acts relating to the

public, the persons under paragraph one shall be politically

impartial............

No respect for the government, no respect for the law, no respect to their own constitution

and then they talk about democracy

Thais disguise their selfishness calling it Thainess.

Doctors, when voluntarily abandoning their duty to caring for patients are doing potential harm to those in need of medical assistance.

The first tenet of ethics in medicine, universally sworn and practiced is: Do not harm.

But... TIT.

Thais are not prone to recognizing their mistakes voluntarily. First they try to save face. Second, they use outlandish logic to justify their misdeeds and lastly, they are unwilling to pay for the consequences of their actions.

This is Thailand where money and power can get the best justice and protection that money can buy.

Aren't you jumping to a rather ignorant assumption that he is asking for the doctors and nurses to stop work?

He has asked the civil servants to come out

Good for him. When you do something that is sure to earn the full admonishment of the government - particularly this government - it is not an easy thing to do. It is called bravery. And the fact that he is not standing down is really courageous. And commendable. Civil disobedience is a right.

Certainly not a right in this case. He misused his authority to encourage others to abandon their duty to the people. Disgraceful

I see on Facebook today there are pictures of 2 large, luxury houses. One is in Khao Yai and the other in Hua Hin. They were allegedly bought on 2012 by Tarit.

999 were a new wave band during the 70s and 80s.

One song of theirs was "Emergency"

We've heard it all before

We've learning to ignore

You must confess this awful mess

Isn't just a bore

It's more than we could bear

But you don't really care

Kiss of live to save our life

All you do is stare

Sell yourself for cheap

Make our mother weep

Loosing pride is hard to hide

And harder still to keep

I'm back in full attack

Never give in until they crack

Emercency

Raiders strike but where

Panic in the air

Running scared oh im so scared

It gets you everywhere

Heard it on the news

Rebels get accused

Fighting for another cause

But why and where and whose

Carry out their plan

Release us if you can

Whats your worth to a pile of earth

Youre just another man

Black jack wanna quack

Never get your money back

Pack attack in the back

By a bloody maniac

Better see industry

Take it fast and make it last

Go away make them pay

Never make the same misstakes

Sometimes care sometimes not

See 'em bleed and see them rot

Wait until next week and the rice farmers will be with Suthep.

What amazes me is the absolute hypocrisy of some on here.

For years Abhisit, Suthep and the RTA were the scum of the earth, a bunch of muderers, in cahoots with each other.

Now the army is the answer to everything!!!!

Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!

A plea for the army to get involved with reform negotiations is yet another sign the administration is still very nervous about the army and is desperate to delegate its attention. The subtext of all these daily announcements has really all been about that. It is odd though that Yingluck would feel it would be particularly soothing to call for reform when she's actually seated next to Thaksin's cousin - the head of CAPO, deputy prime minister and foreign minister. The optics suggest a fundamental lack of vision. And to talk about a reform process taking " years " is also not a particularly good sign of movement of any kind beyond the speed of growing grass. But the key question is this - what does she hope to accomplish by this election ? It will be woefully short of MPs and will be constitutionally unable to convene. In fact, the first time in Thai history that that particular constitutional crisis has occurred. How in the world can she act on reform or anything else for that matter when parliament cannot convene ? At what point, one wonders, will that actually dawn on the Pheu Thai administration ?

Doomsayers like you will not help the process. There has to be comrpomise. The PM has opened a door here...why do you want to slam it shut. Most rational people would like to see no violence and a solution ( even partial solution) to this nonsense

But the funny thing is that if the military did get involved in some distinct role you then you and a few others

would scream and yell and kick that the military should never ever be involved.

Which way do you want it?

Unequivocally, I want General Prayuth 'at the table', because without his participation I am fearful that these characters will never stop. I PREFER YL to see out her term.

How on earth can she see out her term when she's dissolved the house?

If people could vote online in the privacy of their own homes or sms their vote using their ID card and house book number to confirm their ID then the cost would be far less than the cost quoted by OAG.

As for Chainarong's comment " PTP has been wasting money since they had power" I'm sure your correct there has been a waste of money.

Would you agree Mark's time at the head of the government use all monies wisely and transparently with no one pocketing some for themselves?

Didn't he have the opportunity to eradicate corruption while he was in power?

Didn't he try to gag the media to limit information to Thai people and the world that gave negative reports during 2010?

So what happened? he had his chance and failed spectacularly, and that's why the Dem's can't win an election!!!

why stop at Mark?

Why not compare the PTP administration to the Marcos family? Or Pol Pot? Or Saddam Hussain? You could write to the Pope and ask for beatification for them

6 'personal' weapons belonging to police officers? What were officers doing carrying non-issued weapons? What was the intention if carrying weapons that were not issued to them?

Thai police officers generally have to provide or pay for their own firearms, that's what.

So, in the event of police and protesters being shot, who accounts for weapons at the scene? and who accounts for shots being fired?

Seems to me to be a free for all with no police accountability

Propoganda plain and simple - shame Thailand's media can't be independent.

Typical response.

When the Nation publishes an article that you like, you praIse it.

When it hits the nail on the head you deride it.

Which part of it do you disagree with?

Bitmaveric has not disagreed with the article, he stated that it is written in way of Propoganda, one sided, he has asked for the media to stay Neutral a fare comment as a lot of people believe what the media shows them. At the end of the day the media also decides the outcome for the people.

I shall assume that BM has delegated some form of authority for you to answer on his behalf!

I'm not convinced that propaganda is something that the English press is a particularly effective media for.......

There's a massive hole in this article.

What school? Where?

It's highly likely that Suthep will order his supporters to start killing each other in order to blame someone else. This is when the army will act to help him put the final nail in the coffin for YL.

There are several screws loose in that logic

There seems to be a belief that the agents provocateurs are not the police.

I beg to differ. I would not be surprised in the least if they are a rogue unit under the control of Calerm and others and have operated since 2010

She has asked the lunatic Suthep from day one to talk and sort out the problem, Suthep has always refused to try and settle the mess he caused like an adult but wants to carry on like a spoilt little rich kid throwing a tantrum.

Suthep wants to talk publicly.

Not behind closed doors in a sneaky manner
